You can’t beg, borrow or buy more time in this life, but you *can* do things to increase the quality and impact of the years you’ve been given when you steward your health well.
I became a certified holistic health coach almost a decade ago because I felt the Lord leading me to do so. He spoke two things to me in 2014 that inspired me to embrace my role in helping His people in the area of their health:
First, He reminded me that His Body, the Church, *should* be the healthiest body on the face of the planet, and yet we are not. The statistics around illness and death are no different for those within the Body than they are for the general public. With everything we have available to us — the blood of Jesus, His stripes that He bore for us, the alive and active Word of God, prayer for healing, the empowerment of the Holy Spirit — we should be walking in a very different experience when it comes to our health. This fired me up to help God’s people to apprehend every good thing He has won for us including vibrant and robust health in this life.
Second, He inspired me with a passion to teach people how to steward their own health in such a way that they’d live long enough and strong enough to do and be all He created them for. I have such a fire on the inside of me to help people pick up their own personal responsibility and sufficiency in Him when it comes to stewarding their health excellently. Zeroing in on the seven pillars of wellness without overwhelm has been a big part of articulating how folks can step into this responsibility and sufficiency powerfully without being constantly plagued with stress and anxiety as they’re walking it out.
On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I’m sharing the seven pillars of wellness without overwhelm and a little bit about why you really need to embrace an approach of stewarding your own health well right now. It’s time to be discipled and apprenticed in the fullness of life, and this includes the area of health and wellness. If you don’t have your health, how will you GO for Him, my friend? Are you ready to be empowered in the area of stewarding your health for His glory? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let’s Go!

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
2 Corinthians 10:5
We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ . . .
Genesis 1:14-19
And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
